  • NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
    Nixpkgs is (and has been for many years) the largest and most up to date package set by a very large margin. source: https://repology.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
    * Repology, to be notified when packages I maintain are out-of-date: https://repology.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • What is the Fedora experience like?
    For comparing package versions across distros, I like https://repology.org/. Fedora's official online package search is https://packages.fedoraproject.org/. Source: 6 months ago
  • NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
    Fwiw nixpkgs has significantly more packages than arch (including the aur), and those packages are also significantly more up to date. No other repo comes close to nixpkgs in this regard. This has been the case for quite some years now. https://repology.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Package repo question, availability of packages
    I think available package number is a bit of an exaggeration. Looking at the statistics, the most packages are on nixOS. But there are other topics such as number of maintainers, update and stability. So middle ground is debian testing and arch. I suggest repology.org to look stats. Source: 12 months ago
